What is the procedure for depositing software under escrow?
Lincoln-Parry provides the supplier with a container(s) that can be sealed. Under a SUP, ISP or MSP agreement both the supplier and user can be present when source is sealed into the container, and can verify its authenticity and completeness beforehand. Under a MUP the vendor alone puts source code under seal and certifies that it is authentic and complete. Any user may later call for an inspection to verify the contents of a container. Lincoln-Parry is not permitted to break the seal on any container. Thirty five years ago, our containers had to be big enough to hold large reels of mag tape and manual binders. During the past decade we have noticed that floppies, DAT and CD-ROM are the preferred media, all of which are shipped by courier from points around the world.
